My band consists of yours truly doing the songwriting and a bunch of virtual robots - playing soft synths - who try to do what I tell them without too much fuss. Maybe we all have virtually tin ears, who knows?Have you performed in front of an audience?I can't play any musical instrument except my PC, and I certainly can't sing. But see below...

Is the computer a potentially effective tool for bringing to life those untapped songs floating around in the heads of non-musicians and others who may be tone-mute but who are not necessarily tone deaf?
No, I'm not talking about Guitar Hero or whatever it is, but at the same time, a lot of work is being done creating new MIDI control devices and surfaces, so I'm eager to see where these developments lead. Even though there's already so much good music, I don't think there's too much.
If the computer can help unleash beautiful music, so much the better for all of us. It's certainly better than unleashing bombs or bullets.Admin
